Spring music

It is Spring here in Sydney.

I am listening to a lot of new music lately, also thanks to Spotify I feel like I am coming across all sorts of new artists but also music I remember that I loved and I hurry up to make sure to add all these tracks to my playlist to treasure them. 

I also realize that I don't know so many lyrics by heart anymore like I did a couple of years ago. I would know every track by name of a favorite CD of mine, would also know their order and already know by the end of a song what the next one will be. 

At the moment I like to be surprised when I listen to music, don't want to get bored, I am curious about new sounds and bands but also go back in time when I listen to beloved old songs and sometimes wonder how I could forget about them.

Cornersmith

The other Sunday we had lunch at a new-ish place in Marickville called Cornersmith. I had a great beetroot sandwich there and an even better apple ricotta muffin (which I couldn't take a photo off as we ate too fast) :)

The weeks are flying by again and it is Spring here in Sydney now and Summer seems just right around the corner. I can't wait to go for my early morning swims very soon. 

We are so happy after moving into our new place and I hope I can soon show you some photos of the new apartment, I might take some photos on the weekend.

Biennale of Sydney

Thank you so much for all your kind comments on my last post. We just moved into our new place an I hope I can show you some photos soon. We still have so many things to do.

The other Sunday a friend from Melbourne visited us and we went to the Biennale of Sydney which mainly takes place on Cockatoo island, just a ferry ride away from the center of the city. 

What are your plans for the weekend?

A day in July

We are back in Sydney since a couple of weeks and are still thinking so much of the great time we had back in Germany and Italy. I wanted to show you some photos of the wonderful day we had in July.

Tuscany

The last two days of our trip we went up to Tuscany and I wished we could have had a couple of more days there as I really loved it. We stayed at a friends old farm in the middle of the forrest went for a beautiful hike and hat the most amazing dinner of local produce. We also went for one day to Florence and I wish now I would have taken more photos but it was over 30C and I was somehow more in the mood of soaking in the city by walking up and down the beautiful squares and streets there...a beautiful place.

These are the last photos from our trip....

Happy weekend, tomorrow is the first day of Spring here and you can smell it already.

Rome

We had some hot days in Rome some weeks ago so we could eat lots and lots of ice cream. It feels great to walk on streets which are thousands of years old and to see all these old and historical buildings. I loved all the great fonds of the bar signs there and I could have easily filled up a whole film with it but stopped myself after taking a photo of a few. 
We had the best ice cream at San Crispino  and the best pizza here. 

Next stop Tuscany :)

Happy Sunday
